    Navigating Buying or Walking. For those of you who are good at saving your money. 💰 What inspires you to not buy? 

    Say you’re in a store or online and you see something cool. What do you do? What are your criteria for buying or walking away? 

    Asking because while I love knowing money is being put away, I also love to shop. It can be as simple as, I’m in Manchester (like I am right now) and want to buy something unique that I can’t buy at home. Or I don’t have a something in that color, fabric or design. I don’t need it. I just like it and will enjoy it.  

    How do you navigate this? What’s your approach?

    It’s super helpful to me to create a structure of rules for myself to obey in the moment and upgrade later if needed. For example, I used to buy way too much clothing at thrift stores because why not it’s so cheap....

    tldr; we won't be meeting this week. Back the 10th. Still use whenever! UpTrust has a cool policy Blake Borgeson envisioned where the whole team takes a week off (in the summer, and again in winter between christmas and new year). This is the spirit of our mission to do things deeply aligned with well-being; a lot of people working for software companies have found that it can be hard to take time off when the rest of their team isn’t.

    I’ll still take a little time to respond to some things, and encourage everyone to use it!

    Of course you’re very welcome to jump on the zoom without us; it should work even without a host.

    See y’all on the 10th.
    love

    heck yeah! I did as well; I really appreciate the space between things, recognizing space as the overwhelmingly what is, even in the seemingly solid objects, and I feel it encourage that (as well as the impulses to fill space, rather than luxuriate in it)....
